Behind-the-Scenes Beauty: Gilded Ponys at Juan Carlos Obando

A quick peek at the look board for Juan Carlos Obando's presentation revealed plenty of gilded elements, with some fabulous foil prints accenting otherwise hard black ensembles. The folks at Fekkai took note of Obando's golden touch, creating some fantastic tribal-inspired sculptural ponys. They started off with a tight, mid-level ponytail, making it rounded and elongated with elastics. Then they layered on Indian Healing Clay (a product also useful for detoxifying facials!) and applied rose gold dust over it. After the dust was applied, the stylists attached diffusers to their blowdryers and started drying away. The result? A flock of very fashion-forward Golden Girls.
